Here is another reason I always liked the Pirate

SportsCenster host: "Whats it feel like in the stadium"
Leach: "Its like Woodstock, only everyone still has thier clothes on"

The Pirate is awesome.  Biggest mistake Texas Tech ever made was letting their arrogant boosters force him out.

I've always liked the Pirate myself and am not all that surprised he's finding success in Pullman. Once you learn to recruit to Lubbock, you can recruit anywhere.

But what stands out about Leach 2.0 (the Wazzu version) compared to the original we saw with the Red Raiders is 1) a stronger commitment to the run game and 2) not completely neglecting the defense. It took Leach a few years but he has the Cougs running the ball and fielding a very competent defense. Hats off to Leach.

People don't remember because the offense always overshadowed it, but Leach had a couple of decent defenses toward the end of his career at Tech.  One of them finished in the top 25 as I recall, which is pretty darn good in the B12.

His early WSU teams' ability to ignore the run was a sight to behold. (They were pretty amazingly bad their the three games before this, now that I look)

Last night's NC State win Vs Louisville brought back all that Thursday night college football is all about. Before the NFL hijacked that time slot. An excited campus, conference pecking orders at stake, a Coach winning his most important game to date.
